Refugees fleeing conflict arrive in Canada and struggle to resettle.
As a Canadian, you can help.
Canadians are using Haven to meet refugees from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Even helping in one small way can make a big difference.
Hilary hosted Ruslana and Roman in her home while we found them an apartment.
The Sadya family from Syria received donated furniture to get them started in Canada.
Maya helped Angelika and Nick from Ukraine practice their English over video calls.

Haven makes it easy to know who and how to help.
Refugees post requests for help, and Canadians post offers to help.
From there, you choose who you match with. If both sides agree, we exchange your contact info, and you will be able to meet either in-person or virtually.

ID Verification
We verify the identities of all users. For Canadian hosts, we require an easy-to-complete background check.
We work with a Canadian company, Certn, to complete ID and background checks.

Flexible Commitment
Canadians are busy. On Haven, you only help as much as you can or want to.
Even 30 minutes of your time is enough to help a refugee.

Rewarding Work
Direct and personal help is fulfilling like nothing else.
We think that helping a refugee will be one of the best philanthropic experiences you will ever have.
We're a team of Canadians with years of experience in resettlement.
We have sponsored refugees, been on the frontlines of refugee crises, managed resettlement from A to Z, and led refugee advocacy campaigns across Canada.
Haven Refugees Inc. (Haven) is a registered Canadian charity based in Toronto, Ontario.
